Introduction to Wenkui Gate: The middle door of a folk house is called Wenkui Gate. The word "Wenkui" is carved on the lintel. It is said to be used to ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts. Ghosts will not dare to see "Wenkui". If you go any further, you will be turned away. Another legend is that "Wenkui" is a star in the sky and a god in charge of the reputation of scholars in the world. Whoever hits the mark with his ink pen will win the first prize, so the scholarly families respect him very much and enshrine him on their lintel to show their respect.
